Pleasantly surprised. It's a chain... and it's been around... but you know what? Those beefy burgers are pretty damn good. My partner-in-crime and I split one and it was delicious. You can put whatever toppings/sauces you want on it - no extra charge. We went with mayo, ketchup, pickle, lettuce, and tomato. Just a regular burger - that's all we wanted. Burgers come automatically with TWO beef patties - kinda beefy for me, but the bread to meat balance was good. Fries reminded me of In-N-Out... which I adore. Fried in peanut oil. Peanuts available in some locations. Decor was a little over the top... and in your face like an egotistical little boy wearing a sign screaming on the top of his wee little lungs, "LOOK AT ME - I'M AWESOME". Shut. up. read more

We're not fast food people, so my review may not be completely fair. We went to Five Guys because we were running a bit late for a movie, and 5 Guys is right next to the theater - so we only had to park once. My husband is not a meat eater, so he ordered their take on vegetarian fare, which was basically a cheese burger without the meat. Meh bread, and goopy cheese - it's been nearly a week and he's still traumatized. Also, he requested jalapeno on the sandwich - one little ring. My burger was fine - a baby cheese. Tons of fries- and those are very good. Fast was the objective, but we should have known better. I really have no criticism of Five Guys that would hold up for anyone who likes fast food - because you really couldn't do better in that category. read more

OMG!!! There's a Five Guys in Seattle? I'm from the east coast and working here in Seattle for a few months...and I miss my Greenville NC 5 guys. Hubby and I Always get the little burger and its plenty BIG. And the fries? Well we get a medium and split them...they pile them on! Honestly the best burger I've ever had. read more

I was sus when the cook put like 2KG of salt seasoning on the fries. The fries were indeed like a soggy potatoey salt lick.

I tried 5 Guys for the 1st time this fall in the Washington DC area. it was very impressive. The new location in Seattle offers the same tasty food. Burger and fries people, this is a must try. It's a self serve burger stand that makes made to order burgers. Mushrooms, onions, lettuce, mayo, mustard, catsup, peppers all can be ordered with your burger, cheese burger or bacon burger at no xtra charge. The french fries there are some of the best going. They use Washington State Potatoes and fry them in peanut oil. A single order is $2.89 and is enough for 2-3 people. If you go: decide what you want before stepping to the order counter. A small burger is sufficient for most appetites. A single order of fries is enough for 2. read more

Always a great stop before a movie. The small Burger is plenty for me especially when all the toppings are complimentary w/the price. Including mushrooms,onion, jalop'ns, BBQ sauce, etc (if that's your thing). Fries are great too, hand sliced w/skin on again a small is like a large anywhere. Plenty for 2 adults & a child. They really just throw them in the bag. Peanuts while you wait is a *bonus*. Drinks are refillable as you wish. So give yourself a extra 1/2 HR before your movie time, grab a couple burgers & enjoy! Tip: you can bring your drink to the theater if you so wish. read more

How I heard of this place: The first I'd heard of Five Guys was a couple of years ago when I was told they had a limited selection of excellent-tasting burgers. Type of cuisine: Burgers and fries. Other fare includes hot dogs and sandwiches - limited to vegetable and/or grilled cheese. Ambiance: Simple, casual, unpretentious. The walls and floors are white with smatterings of red and black to accent the space in line with the brand. Five Guys (in this location at least) has customers enter into a line where orders can be placed. Customers are invited to sit or wait by the end of the counter for completed orders to be picked up. Once your food is ready, your receipt number is called and your brown bag of hot goodness is yours for the taking! Condiments are at the end of the counter inviting you to help yourself. What I ordered: Having just left the large plate of nachos unfinished, I wasn't hungry enough to place a large order of my own, but sampled the fries and the bacon dog ordered by others. One in our group ordered the bacon dog, one the little hamburger and the other a veggie & cheese sandwich. All three added an order of regular-sized fries. What I loved: I loved the large size of the cupful of fries and the bacon in the bacon dog! I didn't have an opportunity to sample other dishes before they were downed, but by the looks of friends licking hands clean, I have to say that the food was satisfying if not completely delicious! Why I loved it: It's an easy place to go for quick food without going to the likes of a typical fast food restaurant. Cost: Average ($3-$6 for a burger) read more

Burgers are heartier than any from MCDs. Fries could be crispier--hit or miss crunch or soggy fries. Drink dispensers are the bomb here. Try 1/4 strawberry lemonade with 3/4 Sprite! read more

I have been to a lot of Five Guys in my day and this one mirrors a lot of what you find, except I used to love it back when I lived in DC, but these days the burgers feel so greasy and have so much salt, I can't remember not walking away with a headache. The point is, that if you're wanting to pile a bunch of toppings indiscriminately onto a burger, or eat a big 'ol bag of fries...get over to Five Guys. No judgment...sometimes I want to do that too. But in Seattle, with all the great local burger joints, I say pass on 5 Guys... read more

Of all the unique, quirky Seattle burger joints which are definitely great and amazing in their own way, I still have to say that Five Guys (a chain, yes, I know) is the best burger I've ever had. My usual: Cheeseburger with mayo, mustard, lettuce, grilled onions and a side of Cajun fries for sharing. Every time. Simple as that. The patties melt in your mouth and are always beautifully dressed with their simple toppings. Five Guys always tastes like a good, old fashioned, homemade burger that you would grill up in your own backyard. And that's just the way I like it! As I read on a doodle on a cork board in a Five Guys once, "Life without Five Guys is like an unsharpened pencil: pointless." read more

After years of Five Guys goodness in the Washington DC area, I realized I was doomed when I moved out to Seattle, as they had no Five Guys. Then to my wonderful surprise, before catching Sherlock Holmes, I spotted this place!!!! It was perfect: I was hungry and wanted to sneak in some burger goodness. I appreciate they slap on the calories right on the menu board, so I know what I'm getting. For a petite cheeseburger, it sure took longer than I would've liked (about 10 minutes), but the place was packed at their peak time, so I won't complain. Even the little burger was more than enough for my appetite, didn't even need fries. Their decor is exactly like the Virginian restaurants, red and white tiled, with posters of newspaper articles in the Washington Post about how awesome they are. And...they are!!! read more

A solid, traditional burger. For it's price range, probably one of the best in town. No frills, just freshly cooked patties with any of the standard toppings you want. The mystery lies in the free peanuts. What are they doing there? What deal was brokered in a back room to bring us these ground nuts incongruously sitting beside the soda fountain? A trail of broken shells beckons, but perhaps all burgers are given in to-go bags for a reason. What, No milkshakes? read more

Ugh. I SO wanted Five Guys to be amazing. I'd heard too that they are as good as In N Out Burger. I have to disagree. I wanted an In N Out experience in WA! Didn't happen. Hubby & I tried them shortly after they'd opened in the Northgate area. Both of us walked away scratching our heads because it was not nearly as good as we'd hoped. The burger was mediocre as were the fries. Sadly, we won't be back. When I'm in So. Cal. I WILL be back at In N Out and thinking about how much better it is than Five Guys! read more

Every time I come here the staff is great, I always feel welcomed at this location. They are fast at there jobs, Understanding and kind. I've been to a couple of other 5 guys and the service and food is not the same. Definitely will drive the extra mile to come here! read more

Burgers are amazing. Fresh ground beef formed into patties and cooked fresh to order. You name exactly what you want on it. Keep in mind the little cheeseburger is a single patty and the cheeseburger is actually a double cheeseburger. Same size of patty just more volume with the regular burger. I'm not a fan of their fries (I prefer my fries crispier) but they sure give you a ton. A small fry is enough for two people to eat since they fill the cup with fries and then put two more huge scoops of fries into your bag. A large fry feeds a family of 4. They also have free peanuts to snack on (but why would you want to do that after eating burgers and fries?) read more

Like Red Mill my stars are meant for something else but the burgers. I've been to this in Brooklyn...they call it the In N Out of the East coast. It's nothing like In n Out. I enjoy their seasoned fries, they always cook it perfectly. One star. The free peanuts is also a nice touch. I love me some salty nuts. One star. ...And like Red Mill there's something I cannot stand about their burger I can't explain. Make sure you order the kid's size which is a single patty. The regular burgers have two, which would be fine if the burger wasn't already big. read more

Big fan of this place. the burger meat is tasty and flavorful you can tell it is fresh i love the ordering system you can get whatever you want on your burger and the Cajun fries oh my goodness a small can feed a family of 4 and a large is just absurd. just remember a normal hamburger comes with 2 patties....how the world should be read more

My craving for a decent burger has been satiated.... for now. I got the "regular" cheeseburger with grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes and relish. My Fiance got a plain "regular" bacon cheeseburger. We wanted to try both kinds of fries, so we each got the smallest size-- Each side was more then enough for 2 people. They do have a fairly smart marketing ploy. To label the "double" hamburgers as "regular" and the normal size as "little" definitely sells more large hamburgers. I got a burger, ate half of an order of fries and I felt like I needed to be rolled out of the restaurant "Violet Beauregarde style" (minus the unnatural pigmentation). read more

Firstly, almost impossible to find, b/c it is strangely IN the movie theater's doorway. When you do find the restaurant, parking is easy since there is 15 min parking spots AND a garage. The atmosphere was not even close to our favorite. It is LOUD, crowded, and hot b/c there is an open kitchen. Orders have to be made hastily to keep up with the pace. You can see the cooks and kitchen staff scrambling around. There is no good place to stand to wait for food, and numbers are barked out. We did not want to stick around longer than necessary. I had one of the smaller burgers, b/c I don't want to drop dead of a heart attack directly after my meal. It was a decent size. To be fair, I didn't order the burger cooked super well done like I prefer so maybe I wasn't astounded by the food due to that. Also, I didn't really get what I wanted b/c I felt too rushed to really look at the menu options. And no blue cheese? Crazy. I don't really dig fast food burgers, and this is what the 5 guys burger tasted like to me--VERY greasy. Also, I might like this place a lot if I didn't HATE french fries. I hear they give you a lot and they're very tasty. As it is, I won't be eating there again if I can help it. read more

I LOVE THIS JOINT!!!! Nothing fancy, but FANTASTIC! My husband and i are always on the search for delicious burgers. We like to have an array of mouth watering options each with their own perks. Expensive, cheap, thick, thin, flame kissed or not... i love me a good burger. This place is great. The burgers are thin patty's with lots of delicious char. They are cooked all the way through, but are still incredibly juicy. I don't know how they do it, but it is really amazing. They have two size options, "little burgers", which have one patty, and "burgers", which have 2 patty's. I love to get the little bacon cheeseburger with everything except mushrooms (everything includes: lettuce, tomato, katsup, mustard, mayo, pickles, grilled onions and grilled mushrooms). we drive from Queen Anne up to Northgate often for these juicy babies! The Fries are awesome too. They are hand-cut, and the potatoes are locally sourced from the northwest and fried in peanut oil too! You can get them seasoned or plain...the regular size is enough for 2 (with some leftover) and the large can feed 3 easy (with some leftover)! for about $16 we get 1 little burger, 1 reg. burger, a reg. fries and a reg. drink with free refills... and we are stuffed!!! A killer meal for a great deal! read more

This place wasn't so bad, but it's just sooo overrated. Their self-praise is really groundless. Voted best burger in America? By who, Bill from Wisconsin? Its a load. Admittedly, they're not too bad. They're pretty OK. But I can get a better burger from red robin, they're by NO MEANS the best burger out there. Their veggie burger sucks, also. Doesn't it take more energy to explain that a "veggie burger" doesn't have a veggie patty than to just have one available? It's great that their condiments are free and you can put them on a bun to make the veggie burger. But we're paying about the same as we would be for the burger, just to get a horribly incohesive sandwich. Regardless of your veggie choices, condiments are not intended as an entree. The attempt to be one of those hip 50's-esque diners is funny because THEY REALLY STILL EXIST. Go to a real one, where they're not corporations and they make everything from scratch! Go just down the street to Jay's Diner on Bothell Way. Or Patty's eggnest right there on northgate. Or Flo-Anna's diner by Lake city way and 145th. C'mon people, they dont have good reviews, but it's better than five guys for vegetarians. read more

I've been waiting for them to open for a while. My sister went to the place in Renton and loved the fries. I actually think the burgers are what sells this place. Great beefy flavor and all of the condiments. Not many burger shops offer grilled onions on the burgers. If you aren't a big eater go for the little burgers. The regulars are huge. I'm a huge fan of french fries. These are some of the best around. They are larger than McDonald's and Fat Burgers skinny fries, so they have more potato flavor. Plus they are fried in peanut oil which gives them more flavor. I hate going to Red Robin for their over priced food and slow service. Kid Valley was great until they moved out of the mall. I will be back frequently! read more

YAY!! They've opened up West Coast stores! Having lived in DC for awhile, I was stoked to find out they were opening one in my neighborhood. The feel is a little different (maybe since I wasn't there on a weekend?) since no one was chucking the peanut shells on the floor (like they do in the VA stores), but the food is still great. 1 regular order of fries is enough for 3 people (best fries) 1 regular burger comes with 2 patties, so the "little" burger is actually plenty. read more

I'm a hardcore fan of In'n'Out burger in California - so when I text my brother "Five Guys gives InO a run for its money" you know I've found a serious contender for the top burger spot. I ordered the Cheesburger, which as you'll pleasantly (or horrifically) find out, is a double stacked burger. You'll need to order the 'small' to reg a 'regular' sized burger. The patties are fresh, the lettuce crisp, the onions not too overwhelming, and the cheesy ooey-gooey. Add in some cajun (or regular) fries, which are exceptional, and you have a great 1,000 calorie plus meal to kick yourself over later. Add in that it's right next to the Northgate movie theatre and you have an old fashioned date in the making. They have buckets of peanuts all around the store, and spuds just sitting out in sacks. A really nice touch. Now, if they only had burgers 'animal style'.... I'm torn, it's really a three-way tie between the Aurora Burgermaster, In'n'Out, and Five Guys. Either way, when you are among that company, as they say in Swingers "Everyone's a big winner!" read more

I'm not sure what people see in this place. The first word that comes to my mind is...overpriced. I think a "Little" (aka one patty) bacon cheeseburger was $5.50. You can add quite a few things to this burger, none of which are anything special. Lettuce? You get shredded iceberg. Cheese? You get American. Mushrooms? You get soggy cooked bland-tasting buttons. Onions? Atleast they cook them. Bacon? I don't think I could even taste that there was bacon in there... Even with our free add-ons, to me it tasted like a cheaper In-and-Out burger. We also ordered fries. Good grief, they give you a ton of fries for $3. Two of us split a "regular" (small) order and couldn't finish them - not even close. They are the real potato kind, which can be hit and miss for me personally. These were ok. Also, we ordered Cajun fries, but either we mistakenly got the regular fries or the Cajun had no flavor at all. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they must have made a mistake. The place itself feels like a clean McDonalds - kind of diner-like. Order at the counter and find a seat. Service was pretty fast and friendly. Probably a good place to bring your kids if you don't mind the prices. The drink machines are just cool. Yes, there are free peanuts - but is that really going to bring you into a restaurant? Can't say I'll be rushing back. I just think there are better places in Seattle to spend $10ish for a burger and fries. read more

I was in there last night with my family and eventhough they got quite busy I feel the need to just say it was great. Your gm split my kids shake into smaller cups for us and your fry guy couldn't have made more perfect fries. So many perfect fries...We usually go to the ballard location as my sister lives there in urbana but we were in the area and it was well worth it. Thank you Northgate five guys for rocking it out with your awesome sauce during these hard times. read more

One of the best burgers I have had from a chain. To begin, they have some juicy burgers. All burgers are cooked to a medium well but you cannot tell the difference. You choose what kind of toppings you want (grilled onions? are you serious? YES) The fries are big enough to feed a fat kid and the free refills is always a plus. You will end up spending 9-10 bucks for a meal but its worth it. Be prepared to go for a run after your meal though. read more

Decor: ick Being able to customize my order: awesome Taste: AMAZING (for burgers) Customer service: Great Price: Definitely reasonable Fix the decor and it will be 5 stars! read more

They have made to order burgers and the fry portions are huge. The food was just okay. The price is pretty good for what you get. I can see the draw of the place, it just didn't taste as good as I wanted it to. read more

It's no Red Mill, but it's still pretty good. Their fries are made fresh, from potatoes even! In fact they have bags upon bags of potatoes as a functional part of their decor, and the potatoes are from Idaho, I believe. The have a Cajon seasoning. I highly suggest it. Oh how I love real potatoes. And they come in a paper bag, which is generally full, and almost always more fires than I need, even when I order small. The burgers are bad, a little plain though. You have to specify, in a very specific manner, what you do want on your burger, which almost seems like a hassle, but whatever. One time I tried all the things, and I don't recommend doing that. Of the various standard toppings to choose from, the grilled onions and grilled mushrooms should be noted. I prefer raw onions on a cheeseburger that uses American cheese though. Also jalapeños are an option. I think they overpower the burger though. I've had all of those toppings on unique speciality burgers but when you just throw them out as toppings, it's not all that interesting. They chop their raw onion, instead of slice, and it makes me wish they had Chilli as an option. I think they would have really good Chilli fries and burgers. This is definitely a trustworthy burger joint. Oh, and there are free peanuts. No milkshakes. read more

The first time I had the burger was better than the second so perhaps I just need to make sure I have the 'works' instead of the limited toppings I had chosen. The fries were pricey so if you will be sharing opt for the bigger size but otherwise choose the small one or forgo it all together as it is incredibly greasy. The drink dispenser is pretty cool. read more

Five Guys - Hot Dogs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

I'm originally from CA and I love In and Out burgers..but man, unlimited toppings on your burger!!! I am sold on Five Guys. I mean, where else can you get a double patty burger for $5? Their fries are just okay hence the 4 stars instead of 5. But I may be a little picky because I like thin shoe-string fries. read more

Its a good burger for Seattle, people try to compare it with In n Out but there is no comparison.....In n Out is In n Out and Carl's Jr. makes one of the best fast food burgers around yet Seattle has none....a little slow. Too much bun with the burger here, almost generic like what you would purchase at the grocery store. I think because it's new and its in Seattle people are pretty excited just to have it here. A little deprived. Nothing amazing but a decent burger when you want it but don't think I would make a run for it when the burger hunger strikes. read more

Oh. My. God. The burgers at this spartanly decorated place (red and white - the uniform colors and design of the Five Guys chain, according to my boyfriend from Five Guys' original 'hood) are great. What's REALLY great is the people watching. I loooooved watching the primal, meat-and-fries lusting faces as they waited for their order to be called. From cops to kids to soccer moms there was a shocking amount of burger love gleaming in the eyes of Five Guys fans. Oh, and the fries are greasy in a way that can't be beat. Mmm... Heart attack deliciousness. read more

Walked in, the cashier lady (receipt says Juanita, but we know it wasn't Juanita at the register) took her time drying her hands after complaining about washing them. We stood at the register for a minute and we greeted her FIRST before she opened her mouth. Immediately had an attitude. First we ordered 2 little bacon cheeseburgers, and she wasn't paying attention but asked again, "Ham or cheese". We were confused and she asked, "You want hamburger or cheeseburger". We said cheeseburger (again). She follows that with an eye roll and "What do you want on it?" When we responded we said they're going to be the same then listed the toppings. She, again didnt pay attention, and asked "and the second one?" C'mon woman, LISTEN! And stop giving us attitude. We're being nice to you. We completed our order with a 3rd cheeseburger and regular fries. This lady obviously cannot work at any other establishment since she believes she's beyond providing friendly customer service. I think this particular Five Guys can do without her. If you're curious about how our order came out, some toppings were there and some were not. Some were even on the wrong burger. read more

Bland, expensive burgers and a long wait. Every few months I forget how unappetizing these burgers are and order one, since it's just downstairs from my apartment, and I end up disappointed every time. The little burger is more than enough--who needs two patties, especially when they're dry and flavorless? In contrast, the bun soaks up all the moisture from the condiments and ends up disintegrating into a mushy, pasty mess. The fries alternate between good (hot, crispy, tasty) and soggy. If you get them Cajun style you get a ton of seasoning, to the point that you feel like you're eating a mouthful of grit along with your fries, but plain fries have no seasoning at all, so I usually take them home to put salt in them. I'd rather pay a few more bucks and go to the Ram at the mall... or save some and go to McDonald's. Better yet, support local businesses and go to Dick's. read more

Wonderful staff. Kind, hospitable and fun people. Warmly welcomed. Excellent food and service. Looking forward to next time! Perfect place to go before or after seeing a movie or shopping at Northgate. read more

It was pretty good. It's a very good decent burger, and I like that you can customize it however you want. The fries are really greasy. I could only take so many, but I like that they are real cut potatoes. Downside was no desserts. Even a milkshake would be nice. read more

Ok, so I finally made it here. After years of hype and curiosity. I was very pleased. I must admit after hearing all this praise for so long, you'd expect to bite into a treasure chest. It's not. It's only a burger. And a damn good one at that. If you take away all the hype and stumble upon this place on your own, it would knock your buns off. (pun intended). Just like an old fashioned greasy spoon with tasty burgers. Also love the fact that they are doubles unless you say littles. Damn, they have free peanuts, great fries, mello yello and all the red and white one could possibly view in one sitting. Great experience, other than the fact that they keep yelling out "patty". I was dining with my friend Patti and it was quite disturbing while we were trying to eat. Guess it was better than calling out my name every 30 seconds. read more

I've been here a few times but have somehow forgotten to write a review. I guess I kind of feel it's like writing a review on McDonalds... Just because the menu is simple and "special" does not mean that it's like In-N-Out. AND "special" does not simply mean over-sized...Eating is not a competition....REPEAT- EATING IS NOT A COMPETITION... The burgers are fine, the fries seem over-rated. Sometimes at lunch it's too crowded. They have never messed up an order- which is what helps them get to 2 stars... Service is good. Prices are ok. I would trade it for an In-N-Out in less then a second... read more
